BAY CITY, MI — A Fraser Township teen has accepted a plea offer in a sexual-assault case, and prosecutors have agreed to drop charges carrying possible life offenses against him.

Gary R. Majka II, 18, on Tuesday, Sept. 24, appeared in Bay County Circuit Court and pleaded no contest to one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a relation, a 15-year felony. In exchange for his plea, the prosecution dismissed three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, punishable by up to life imprisonment.

The prosecution also agreed that they would recommend Majka be sentenced within the guidelines. Court records indicate the minimum of Majka's sentencing guidelines are from one to two years. He is also not to received Holmes Youthful Trainee Act status, which allows a judge to place a defendant between the ages of 17 and 21 in custody or on probation without a conviction.

Police began investigating Majka in January 2012, when the Fraser Township mother of a 14-year-old female contacted them, saying her daughter had written a note describing sexual acts Majka perpetrated against her, court records show. The mother told police she and Majka’s father confronted Majka about the allegations.

The teen was present during the discussion, during which Majka said he’d had sex with her, the mother told police, according to court records.

The 14-year-old submitted to a forensic interview at the Nathan Weidner Children’s Advocacy Center on Jan. 20. She told staff that Majka raped her on two occasions on Jan. 4, and that he also sexually assaulted her in the summer of 2011 and in December 2011.
